Summary

During a 4 days session, under the leadership of the association World Wise Web, the "actual music" classroom from the Rennes regional school of music had the opportunity to compose, improvise, and prepare a spatial concert inspired by the work of Damon Albarn (Blur, Gorillaz) and thanks to a Wave Field Synthesis crown installed for this occasion.
